Chapter 10

What's wrong?- he asked letting me go and taking a step back. His smirk had gone away, I could see hints of tears in his eyes, my crying had always gotten to him. Me, was frozen, my lips wouldn't respond, but it didn't matter, words wouldn't have come out anyway. We just stood there, it seemed like ages.

Then I heard coming from my pocket the Power Rangers theme song. Older brother calling me, such timing that guy had. What?!- I answered. Apparently my ability to talk had come back and my brother took all the anger that was not at him, but at the guy who had gone to sit down on the bench. On our bench.

Why are you ripping my head off? Is everything ok?- my brother asked. Yeah, just a bit busy. -I said trying to calm down. Okay, just wanted to let you know that I'm coming down to visit next weekend, tell mom, ok?- he said. Uhm, she does have a cell, remember?, okay I'll tell her, got to go, bye.- I hung up. He was staring at me.

Jeez, stop looking at me like that- I told him, my sauciness was coming back and I would take it as an advantage. My tone had startled him. I was a different person from the one that night so many months ago...

and he would realize it any second now.
